[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So our of curiosity -- For current Deal/JR parents (my kids are in a feeder in upper elementary) --

1. Have you seen the schools improve since you have been there? aka does it seem to be trending for the better or worse? 
2. I know JR is "overcrowded" but how many kids does it have now vs is capacity? Is the guess that JR will just go down 200 kids next year once McArthur opens or will they just have a increase in OOB kids they accept to fill the seats? [/quote]

The building capacity is 1875 and there are 2192 students this year.  Six new portable classrooms opened last month.  Many people don’t expect the enrollment of McCarthur to help a lot, at least until it becomes a mandatory path for Hardy three years out, but that remains to be seen.  It’s a good bet that enrollment will continue to increase for the next couple years.  This suggests that despite the heavy criticism on DCUM, many people find it a desirable option.  It is working out for my kids.  Considering the overcrowding I would be just as happy if those that are on the fence went with other options.[/quote]
